Vol 2 Chapter 473: Creditor

Hanzhong, the Royal Palace.
Maybe it ’s a real life. Since Liu Bei ascended the throne, this year ’s grain harvest in Jingshu has greatly eased the grain crisis in Shudi this year. In addition, since June, Jianning has continuously put a lot of copper coins. And the copper was transported out of Nanzhong and over to Hanzhong. Nowadays, the deficit caused by the country ’s use of money and grain has not been fully covered, but this newly built court can be considered to be in normal operation.
"According to Bo Yuan's heart, this Nanzhong horde has secretly cast a lot of copper coins over the years, but these copper coins are now alleviating a lot of embarrassment." Liu Bei handed the bamboo paper in his hand to Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "Count, Bo Yuan Runan has been in it for two years. "
"Your Majesty laughed and did not last that long." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, Liu Yi started last year. If it is calculated on a yearly basis, it really has been two years, but in fact it is more than a year.
"It's just that I didn't think that this place in Nanzhong was so complicated." Liu Bei nodded with a smile. Originally, he was not too concerned about Nanzhong, accounting for half of Yizhou's site, but in fact, the population of Nanzhong is on record. There is not even a Chengdu in Yizhou, which is a rough place.
But what Liu Bei did not expect was that, according to the results reported by Liu Yi, the population in South China was at least double that recorded in the household registration. This is not a barbarian. If all of them are included, the population in South China It cannot be ignored.
Liu Yi didn't agree with Liu Yi's intention to develop Nanzhong. After all, a place in Nanzhong, leaving a member of the DPRK Central there, is not worth looking at. The entire Liu Bei court is looking for the Northern Expedition Central Plains is actively preparing for and even sending troops. There are already plans here, and Liu Bei does not want to spend too much manpower and resources in Nanzhong.
However, Liu Yi went to Nanzhong with only less than 5,000 soldiers and horses. As a result, Liu Yi ’s Han and Han soldiers and horses have added up to 30,000 people. This is the result of Liu Yi ’s severance. In addition, Liu Bei returned hundreds of millions of wealth, and I heard that Liu Yi also occupied several silver mines, which made Liu Bei's emphasis on Nanzhong continue to increase.
"There is one more thing, Kong Ming has a look." Liu Bei handed a letter to Zhuge Liang said: "Bo Yuan proposed to cast silver coins, I think something is wrong."
Zhuge Liang heard the letter, and the letter was sent by Liu Yi two months ago. It was also in Liu Bei ’s hands for a while, but Liu Bei always felt that it was not good to rush into a new currency, so he wanted to discuss it with Zhu Geliang. .
The content of the letter is to use silver coins as currency. One silver coin is equivalent to one hundred and ten copper coins.
"It's really not very good." Zhu Geliang shook his head after a moment of pondering, "Now that private coins have just stabilized, if silver coins are launched at this time, it is not said whether the output of Yunnan silver mines is enough, and it is also easy to cause panic for the people. This is the most important thing. It ’s better to wait for some years, and it ’s better to try to figure it out after the world is peaceful. "
Many of Liu Yi ’s ideas are good or bad. In Zhuge Liang ’s view, some are too radical. This governance world, especially as Liu Bei ’s territory grows larger, needs more stability, too large-scale reforms. It is easy to be chaotic. After all, the current Liu Bei Group is no longer the kind of small forces in the past, and needs to consider all aspects.
"Is the world peaceful?" Liu Bei touched his beard and sighed, wondering if he could wait until that day.
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression somewhat depressed, knowing that he had inadvertently encountered Liu Bei's sadness, and quickly reassured: "I am in a good situation now, although Cao Wei is under enemy from all sides, only to accumulate three and five Zai, after I had enough food for the soldiers, I could send the soldiers to Guanzhong. If they could get the place of Guanzhong, they could join forces with Soochow and hit the Central Plains from the north and the south. Why worry about the world? "
Liu Beiwen smiled and felt a lot better. In fact, he also knew that things were not that simple. If Dahan really regained his place in Guanguan, it would be worth discussing whether Jiang Dong was willing to form an alliance with Liu Bei. After all, if he could win Guanzhong, Then Dahan already has the ability to compete with Cao Wei, even if he finally defeated Cao Wei, Jiang Dong may not be able to expand. In this case, Jiang Dong is likely to seek Jing Xiang again.
"I have Kong Ming, Bo Yuan, and Shi Yuan Xiangzuo, why do you worry about the world? It's a pity that filial piety died early, but it was the loss of my big man!" At the end, Liu Bei's expression was a bit bleak.
Fa was suffering from a sickness when Liu Yi was heading south, even if Liu Bei sent someone to Jingzhou to invite Hua Tuo, he would be able to cure Fazheng in the future. The death of Fazheng made Liu Bei heartbroken.
Zhu Geliang looked at Liu Bei's hair that was half a hundred, and the wrinkles on his face became clearer. He sighed silently in his heart. Now Liu Bei is over sixty years old, and I really don't know if he can see the day when the world is unified.
"Your Majesty, Shang Shu ordered Pang Tong to see." Just when Liu Bei and Zhuge appeared in Gu Wuyan, Nei Shi came in and bowed to Liu Bei.
"Biography." Liu Bei nodded and said.
After a while, Pang Tong ’s chubby body appeared on the hall. He looked quite happy. After two years of life, Pang Tong ’s life was obviously good. When he came in, he greeted Liu Bei and said: "See Your Majesty!"
"Shiyuan doesn't have to be more courteous." Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Here comes in a hurry, but what's the point?"
"It is the news sent back by Nanzhong." Pang Tong smiled: "Your Majesty, please see."
"Oh?" Liu Bei asked the inner attendant to present the performance book presented by Pang Tong.
"Nanman has been settled?" Liu Bei handed the letter to Zhuge Liang, and exclaimed a little: "From the official admission of Bo Yuan to Zhu, it is said that now it is only half a year, and it has already won six battles and six wins, and surrendered to the barbarian king?
In the first place, Liu Yi's heart was for reward, and secondly, he hoped that a new county could be established to allow Meng Huo to serve as the Yunnan Taishou, with the heart of the savage people. Three times, Liu Yi hopes to remain in Nanzhong this time The construction of Nanzhong is to clear the road between Nanzhong and the territories. In addition, Liu Yi found that after the training of the barbarian, the combat strength was good, he refused to disband the barbarian and hoped that the court could send Later, he will take over the barbarians under Liu Yi's training and train a southern barbarian horse for the court.
The letter also mentions the issue of vines, which has been loaded and transported back. Liu Yi explained the advantages and disadvantages of vines in detail. If such a vine can be trained, it will be sent to the customs in the future, or it may be permitted Wonderful.
In general, there are only three things in Liu Yi ’s letter this time, turning in military power, rewarding merit and asking for money!
There are at least a hundred cities to be built in the construction of the south-central area, the opening of various roads, the establishment of transportation lines, and the problem of the naturalization of the barbarians. Which one does not require money.
Liu Bei was quite happy to see it at first. After all, the land of Nanzhong was completely settled. The court would have no worries anymore. Only when Liu Yi asked for money later, Liu Bei looked a little green.
I want to know that I want to develop and improve the entire Nanzhong land, as well as the track laying that Liu Yi said. I certainly want not less money. This treasury has just got some money, and the money sent by Nanzhong has not been heated. However, it has to be returned to by Liu Yi.
Although Liu Yi did not say anything about building a city this time, those dazzling projects, such as track laying, such as the construction of a basic city wall, such as the construction of a central city wall are actually small cities, and logging and wasteland, etc., Liu Bei estimates With so many projects down, I am afraid that three or five Yueyang cities can be built.
Now Liu Bei ’s mood is complex and difficult to understand. Liu Yi quickly turned over his military power after he settled the Nanzhong, which made Liu Bei very gratified, but following Liu Yi and ran for money all these years have become a habit, sometimes Liu Bei was thinking, even if Liu Yi asked him for power, perhaps it would be easier to accept than the huge sum of money.
Not only that, Liu Yi ’s project will also start wars in Shudi, Hanzhong, and Jingzhou after the completion of the Nanzhong site. The budget time is five years, and manpower needs to be mobilized everywhere, although they are only started in various places. It takes people to hurry up and down, but this time for the so-called track laying, the budgeted manpower needs to use half a million, which makes Liu Bei's heartbeat aggravate.
In Jingshu and the two places, the population recorded in the book today was 9 million when it was counted last year. It sounds like half a million is not a lot, and it is only in the local area. When the farm is busy, you can go back to farming.
But the problem is that hiring these people is not recruitment, it costs money, and the price is not low, half a million people, it will cost 50 million yuan a day!
Of course, these half a million people are not going to be mobilized at once, but Rao is so. The money spent is also an astronomical figure.
"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei sighed when he saw Zhu Geliang reading the book.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Geliang looked at Liu Bei.
"You said, was this Bo Yuan sent to punish me?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Using so much manpower, but also to spend money to hire, you see clearly he expected to consume the money? 30 billion ! "
Liu Bei felt that when he said this number, his heart and liver were shaking, did the money in the land of Jingshu add up so much?
"Your Majesty hasn't finished reading it." Zhu Geliang laughed: "This is actually mathematics and business problems. If you can't get in and out, it is indeed 30 billion, but this money is not calculated like this, such as building a market, In addition to the money needed for the construction of the trade of all ethnic groups, in addition to the money needed for construction, the tax can be collected. The farmers must also consume the money. The house purchase also needs money. Www.EbookFREE.me ~ also needs money. The house is responsible for the construction of the house. The money returned will eventually flow back to the treasury. At the same time, after the opening of these rail cars, in addition to transporting goods, they can also attack the people to ride, and it is not free, and the post can provide food and accommodation along the way, which greatly reduces the business road. The cost can also add another amount of money to the treasury. In this algorithm, fifty memory is required in the first year, but although the second year will require six billion yuan, the construction of the first year has actually begun. The return capital is actually much lower than this amount, probably between 2 billion and 3 billion, and so on, the income and expenditure may be balanced in the third year, and the queen can use the previous money for construction in two years. , Not only does not require investment And there is a certain surplus until after the completion of future earnings and annual investment of just this ...... conservation money is no need Bofang treasures. "
Five years later, it was purely earned, and the actual investment required was only the first eight billion.
"Which is not the case?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "It's just that he hasn't earned two years, and Bo Yuan will definitely continue to build new things."
"But if it really is as Bo Yuan said, this rail car can replace the husband, it can travel a hundred miles a day, and if it uses fewer people, it is worth it." Zhu Geliang shook his head, he could see clearly, although it will hurt a little , But the more the future, the more smooth it will be for the entire country.
"It's just ... eight billion!" Liu Bei felt a little bit distressed. He was a straw shoe seller. He told Liu Bei that number a few decades ago, and could scare Liu Bei to death.
Zhuge Liang just smiled and did not speak. He believed that Liu Bei would make the right decision.
Liu Bei sighed, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then Pang Tong, both of whom clearly supported Liu Yi, and shook his head. While approving, he said: "I see, Bo Yuan's previous life must be me Creditor! "
